Do chromospheric polar spots exist? (Observations at the Calar Alto observatory)

• Applicant: Dr. Uwe Wolter
• Subject Area: Astrophysics and Astronomy
• Term: Funded in 2015
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 285957558

We apply for travel funds for an observing run at the Calar Alto Observatory (CAHA) in Spain. We intend to observe the highly active binary ER Vul during its eclipses using the CAFE spectrograph. We plan to optimize the reduction of the spectra in collaboration with the instrument specialists at CAHA, using the REDUCE package.
